So first it took over a year for us in Sweden to get paid apps.
Then it turns out that there is some bug which prevents "google for my domain"-users from buying Android-apps. Google Checkout with the same account works on a regular computer but not on my phone even though all other features work.
So I have to create yet another GMail address and associate my credit card with it just so I can buy apps which I've been to lazy to do.
Result: I've bought apps on my iPod touch which I never use but not once single a Android app even though I've used Android since the launch of the first dev-phone (2008).
"Simply Beautiful". It feels weird that the fonts on the site are better than on the screen shots. The font on the top and in the "Messaging built-in" is really grandma-sized and not really beautiful.
As said before, the theme and icons are really really lacking. I'm sure however that it will work great (and look great after some modifications like adding the Ubuntu font and Faenza Icons).
Open development or not - I would none the less be pissed if any of my competitors got access to the new SDK and tools ahead of me just because they had signed some special deal.
I wonder how these "special partners" are selected. Anyone know?
Don't let good technology go to waste just because of the "weirdness" of the people behind it.
It reminds me of the people who thought it horrible to use ReiserFS after what happened.
